Nigerian singer Brymo has shared his thoughts on the dominance of Afrobeats veterans and the future of younger stars.
The Ara hitmaker, during a recent interview with TVC, argued that some of Nigeria's biggest music stars should step aside and allow a new generation of artists to take centre stage.
According to Brymo, the continued obsession with the "Big 3" narrative involving Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy is preventing younger talents from receiving the level of recognition they deserve.

He expressed concern over what he described as an attempt by some established artists to remain at the centre of industry conversations indefinitely.
He said discussions in Nigerian music should no longer be dominated by veteran stars, given that younger artists are pushing the culture forward.
"We need to stop talking about how the new artists don't have lyrical substance and focus on how some artists want to lock down the industry for themselves with the 'Big 3' narrative and continue reigning forever," he said.
The singer further argued that the industry should evolve naturally, with each generation getting its chance to lead.
Brymo singled out Rema as an example of an artist who should already be dominating pop culture conversations across the country.
According to him, the Mavin Records star has done enough to earn that position.
"Right now, Rema should be the biggest pop star in the country without any doubt," Brymo stated.
He questioned why discussions still revolve around names such as Wizkid, Burna Boy, Olamide, and 2Baba when younger acts continue to break records and gain international recognition.

Music enthusiast disagrees with Brymo's opinion
A music enthusiast who does not want his name published noted that pushing out the Big 3 by the younger artists will come naturally.
He stated:
"Expecting veterans to just step aside is not how the music business works. The "Big 3" narrative remains dominant because Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy consistently deliver massive hits and maintain a massive global demand. Younger artists like Rema will naturally take full control when their influence completely overshadows the old guard."
